Bitch-slap

A rare, perverse pleasure from reading blogs occurs when a journalist or blogger takes a ridiculous position on an issue. Then, rather than simply admit his/her error, proceeds to dig a deeper hole in their credibility. Hence the resultantbitch-slapping...

Yeah, asking for some kind of expert opinion before completely accepting that a widely-reported story about an ambulance being damaged in an attack is a complete hoax... that's clearly a "ridiculous position".

Pity Blair can't read. I wasn't defending the stories. I wasn't defending the media. I was simply saying "this looks bad for them - I'd like to see their response".

But it's been fun dealing with his idiot hordes. No, not "fun". "Depressing".

Lefty, stop digging ! You had two-bob each way when it was totally unwarranted. Expert opinion ? Rubbish, every man and his dog can see a missile neither hit the van nor exploded anywhere near it. Yet your inherent bias writ large does not allow you to see the bleeding obvious.

If nothing else, check the age of the rust. Anyone who's ever owned a second hand car can tell the ambulance damage is weeks old. Moreover, why the deafening silence from your legion of readers/supporters ? Nor the fact this incident, initially so damaging to Israel has not since been proliferated by their media critics ? Because it's so blatantly fake it's embarrassing. No experts needed.
